I had proposed better henchmen with a variety of skillsets.

The Zaishen healer hench HAS REMOVE HEX. Horray.

Its male too, and asian like me...wow...

anyway...
Mage is like Orion: Incendiary bonds, fireball, etc.
Warrior is like Stefan: Galrath SLash, Hamstring, Power attack, Healing Signet, Griffon's Sweep, Charge (Why is this on a pvp char)

Id like to see the two sets of henchies slug it out, if only to see alesia get wasted over and over and over again in observer mode.

Well its more like old henchies versus new henchies. Call it battle of the century. They could even spring for cool the announcer voice out of unreal to do the play by play!

People beating up on the henchies wouldnt be as fun i think.

Oh yeah, the winner could move on to fight the defending champ afterwards, team gwen.

I would love to do some spare vs full hench team with their own collective AI.

That is not a bad idea for "training" mode for PvP. You vs npc's.

They are much better than normal ones...to bad Im probly going to have to shove my axe into there skull

Sagius Truthbarron · Jan 14, 2006, 01:54 PM // 13:54

All they need now is a healer/protection henchie with condition removal and energy mangement. And maybe a mesmer that does something other than put Empathy on everyone...

While we're at it, how about customizable henchies!

You know, Charge could be useful in very agressive groups that need to move fast as a team. Though, I dought you would see that very often, and not enough to make a henchie for it.

I think alot of the reason why the AI/Pre-made builds are so terrible is becuase ANet wants people to come up with their own ideas, rather than copying their builds off henchies or Zarlack the Slug. Perhaps that's just me.

But yah. I like them. They are cute. I made an all Henchmen group but realised that somehow Elisha, Orian, Stefan and Raina somehow managed to sneak into tombs anyway, and they replace lost party members.

That is very unfortunate. Alas.

If they go the route of fully customisable npcs, they could easily open up a different game style for GW. One more of strategy opposed to single character control. Basically build the npc group to play against the other npc groups, while giving out simple commands like the target command pings to direct objects of priority.

Yeah, i know that just sounds silly all things considered, but it has been done in other formats before.

I like the Players in my Player v. Player.

angshuman · Jan 14, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

I'm all for a Henchie vs. Henchie!!

I wander why Charge was on him before but when Stefan used Charge on the altar map right when we needed it to get the orb. It really helped out and we won. So you never know when you need it.
